identify and use learning opportunities within your area and externally;
set goals/targets for future learning and development, and
take responsibility for your own learning and identify how you can achieve your goals.

Courses leading to qualifications
Internal short courses (STDU)
Seminars
Conferences
Secondment
Sabbatical
Mentoring/Coaching

Lecturing
Team briefings
